I guess I missed something

A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated. We encourage a clash of ideas, and do not encourage a clash of persons.

That's bullshit. "All forms of criticism against HRC" were NEVER flagged as apostate here. Not even in 2008. Only regurgitated Right-Wing talking points without actual proof were rejected out of hand. Or "guilt by association" which by no surprise includes literally every person in politics including Jill Stein.

In fact, if you want to indulge your HRC hate, head over to Naked Capitalism, but you knew that.

To me personally, she is just another politician, left of center on almost every issue except with the Beltway "Responsibility to Protect" gene. But we don't have to worry about any of that now, because the most racist presidency of our lifetime is the reality now. HRC is long gone.

Summer is here so PLEASE help lambert...

Marine slang: A clusterfuck was any group of Marines big enough to draw enemy fire, or several Marines close enough together to be wounded by the same incoming round. More generically, a clusterfuck was something that was all screwed up, i.e. "That blocking operation was a giant clusterfuck!" Whenever three or more CAP Marines gathered in the open, talking or working on something, somebody was sure to call out "clusterfuck!" and one or more guys would walk away. (<a href="http://capmarine.com/cap/glossary.htm#C">Capmarine.com</a>)</blockquote>Clearly, Bush's war of choice in Iraq is "all screwed up"; that makes it a clusterfuck by definition. However, the term is even more <i>a propos</i>. Tactically, Bush's war of choice in Iraq is a clusterfuck. The analogy to "Marines close enough together to be wounded by the same incoming round" is clear. In Vietnam, "in the open" meant being exposed in the rice paddies or jungles. In Iraq, "in the open" means (1) urban warfare where (2) troops (and contractors) must be supplied by trucks which (3) are not armored thereby making them vulnerable to (4) the "incoming rounds" of IEDs placed along the roadside. Nice work, Inerrant Boy. (And the resonance to the words of Matthew 18:20, "wherever two or three are gathered together," is heartbreaking.)

"What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth."
